Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes (less up to $150,000 interest to pay dissolution expenses), none of the funds held in the Trust Account (including the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account) will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of 100% of the Offering Shares (as defined below) if the Corporation is unable to complete its initial Business Combination by December 23, 2022 (the “Deadline Date”), provided, however, the Deadline Date may be extended by the Corporation by up to ten successive one month periods up to October 23, 2023 by depositing into the trust account the lesser of (x) $120,000 or (y) $0.06 per share for each public share of the Corporation that is not redeemed in connection with the special meeting of the Corporation held on December 22, 2022 for each one-month extension and (iii) the redemption of shares in connection with a vote seeking (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Corporation’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Offering Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or amendments to this Amended and Restated Certificate prior thereto or to redeem 100% of such shares if the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date (or any extension to the Deadline Date in accordance with the Charter) or (b) with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (as described in Section 9.7). Holders of shares of Common Stock included as part of the units sold in the Offering (the “Offering Shares”) (whether such Offering Shares were purchased in the Offering or in the secondary market following the Offering and whether or not such holders are the Sponsor or officers or directors of the Corporation, or affiliates of any of the foregoing) are referred to herein as “Public Stockholders”.”
